“Cliff’s fine,” coach Gary Williams said. “He practiced well the last couple days and has picked it up, and he’ll be out there tomorrow.”

Tucker could actually be a pretty significant piece against the Wildcats, who are known for shifting into four-guard sets at times. Maryland only played four guards on Tuesday at Indiana with Tucker glued to the bench, and would probably struggle a bit to match up with Villanova without the extra man.
